Diagnosis of Breast Cancer

Diagnosis of brast cancer is done with the help of breast MRI and Ultrasound. Mammogram is commonly used to diagnose breast cancer in women.

Breast cancer detection can be done early by self examining the breast regularly or with the help of a gynecologist. If any lump is felt inside the breast, more tests are carried out such as mammogram, axillary node biopsy, ultrasound and breast MRI to know the exact stage and required treatment to cure cancer.

Mammogram is the first basic test recommended to the suspected patients or the patients at higher risk of developing breast cancer.
